In this exclusive audio byte Tracy Baim author of “Obama andthe Gays: A Political Marriage” eloquently explains the LGBTmidterm election situation... Election Results Tomorrow...:)This is a very scary midterm election for our LGBT community.Especially with the house & senate up for grabs. To remainnonpartisan is challenging with the republicans' voting recordin opposition of our LGBT civil rights. So the issue we have toconsider is not whether to vote democratic or republican but totake under consideration whether the candidates are pro-choice& pro-LGBT equality. Just because a candidate is a democrat doesnot guarantee that he or she will support our LGBT civil rights.With that in mind it is essential to make the right decision. LogCabin Executive Director R. Clarke Cooperstated, “Log CabinRepublicans is fortunate to stand at this point in history, part ofa Republican Party which recognizes the need for inclusion & unityaround core conservative values." The thing that is always a concernis that politicians will promise anything to get elected.

You have to remember it’s not just about a lesser of two evils. Depending on which race you’re looking at whether congressional or senatorial, the democrats have tried. Maybe they have not succeeded to the point where we wanted them to but if you think about the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” vote in the senate 56 democratic senators voted for getting rid of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, zero republicans did. The same thing on health care reform and all of the other progressive items that have gotten through in the last few years. The republicans have been the party of no.
